The stunning location, only a short stroll from Jodogahama beach, is the biggest draw for this elegant oceanfront hotel. Most rooms are Japanese-style, and all feature small sitting areas – the ones with ocean views are obviously the pick, though those facing the pine forest offer a different kind of serenity. Friendly staff and excellent meals seal the deal.
